My partner and I just started cruising this year and we LOVE IT (have gone on NCL and Celebrity so far)! I have to admit - based on what’s been written about MSC in the past, it would have been wayyy down on our list of cruise lines to try. But recent footage of their newest ships and a wave of more positive reviews have convinced us to give MSC a shot! We’re going on our first MSC cruise in Sept to Bermuda! Thank you for this interview!

[@grabyourbags-travel]

You're welcome! And thank you for watching! I have sailed on 8 different cruise lines thus far and I can tell you that each line does offer their own style or vibe. And each line also has it's pros and cons. The best way to see if a line is the best fit for you is to test it out and keep an open mind. MSC is trying to make the improvements people are asking for. I'm excited to see what they will bring with World America. I sailed on Meraviglia last year, you will like her. I hope you checked out my 10 tips for sailing on her. And also I will be sailing to Bermuda in a couple of weeks and will be sharing things you can do and see while in Bermuda! Those videos will hopefully be out end of July/beginning of August.

[@WanderlustWalrus]

Thank you so much! Will check out your 10 tips before we sail on her, and look forward to watching your video around things to do in Bermuda! Thanks for creating these videos!

We will be sailing on our 2nd cruise on Seashore in September. We loved the first time and loved the ship. We're booked for 2025 on World America. That ship looks fantastic! So far, we have NO complaints about MSC. 100% satisfied.

[@grabyourbags-travel]

World America does look pretty amazing! Thanks for watching!

Ocean cay is beautiful. Snorkelling is great in the lagoon by the rocks. Have seen sand covered by live conch, turtle by lighthouse swims up and down ocean fence. Flounder on bottom. I only book overnight stays to ocean cay. Trip 6 coming up. Booked just to see changes on island. Thank you msc for helping to save our oceans. My suggestion would be to make the sidewalks safer for pedestrians on the island. The trams that use the same paths are dangerous and sometimes move too fast for safety. Traffic engineer here so ideally the peds and the trams should be separated.

[@grabyourbags-travel]

Thanks for sharing and watching. Let us know how you like the renovations.

[@704musicent]

Really great interview. I love MSC and can't wait to see what all they do in the future.

[@grabyourbags-travel]

Thank you! Appreciate you watching.

The private island is so relaxing.

[@grabyourbags-travel]

Yes. It is!

[@melvinjacobs2328]

I'm booked on the Seascape Nov.1, 2026 out of Galveston.

[@ElizabethLopez-zk9ud]

I am so interested in a yacht club sleep over to ocean cay , since I didn’t get to stop there last time due to bad weather. But I’m solo and would be paying double so I need a great price .

[@ElizabethLopez-zk9ud]

Ask him about solo discounts or senior discounts ( speaking for yacht club )

[@grabyourbags-travel]

Will do

[@melvinjacobs2328]

It's now done. 2025 and 2026

[@grabyourbags-travel]

Yes. It came out just as he said it would!
